In Reply to: Society has been duped to go after individuals not the true killers... posted by RGA on August 4, 2006 at 22:39:03:
I'm a philosophy professor. When I teach moral philosophy courses, I always include the death penalty among other topics. I was surprised by the cavalier and dismissive attitude of your professor about it. If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to know which university was home to an instructor who would trivialize the issue of the death penalty by comparing it to construction accidents. Whatever one's beliefs about the matter, such an absurd comparison harms both students and society.
